I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Point72 in Feb 2025
Interview
A case study comparing two similar companies followed by a online technical screen of super basic math questions and three interviews: One with HR, one with an Academy coach, and one with a PM. Almost entirely behavioral/fit questions with the exception of a review of the case study and "pitch me a stock" with some pretty in-depth questions about your choice. Mostly about why I wanted to work at Point72/a hedge fund rather than anywhere else and my background and interests. Everyone was super nice.
